NN Marathon Rotterdam : walking information
The event offers a dedicated walking programme called The Marathon Rotterdam Walk with separate options on the marathon weekend. The route uses city streets in central Rotterdam and starts and finishes at Coolsingel near Churchillplein, so the course is largely flat and urban with large crowds along the route.
Practical details for walkers:
- 15 km
- 10 km
- 5 km
Registration and logistics are handled via the Marathon Sport Expo at the WTC (start numbers and walk cards are distributed there). Walkers receive a commemorative pin after passing the finish rather than the marathon medal. There is no minimum age for the walk.
Timing and race management:
- Each walking distance has an overall time limit: 15 km up to 5 hours, 10 km up to 3.5 hours, 5 km up to 2 hours.
- Walkers must pass course checks within the official timetable; participants finishing after limits are not included in results.
Facilities and support:
- The Marathon Sport Expo is the central pickup and information point.
- Meeting points are provided on Schouwburgplein for reuniting with supporters.
- Standard event safety procedures and bag drop rules apply; there is no Saturday locker service for walkers.
The atmosphere is urban and spectator-filled, with many people lining the streets. The route is suitable for brisk walking and organised walking groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
